A massive thank you to all at Latitude 2012. There was no way the rain was going to stop play. A great time was had in the Film & Music Arena. Latitude gratitude to Summer Camp, Dan Avery, The Small Town Bullies, DJ Ben Osborne, Overlap, The People Pile, Ian, Stephanie, Johnny, Matt and Lobster films, and a huge thank you to Apple Corp for the two stunning Beatles film clips from 1967 they gave us.

Noise of Art returns to Latitude on Friday 13 July to present a three day Psychedelic Curiosity.

The happening starts with a psychedelic nightclub in the film and music tent on Friday, followed by three days of events on a purpose built stage that pops out of a 1965 VW camper van. The van is a vintage hippy festival vehicle that’s been converted into a solar powered stage.

The line-up includes international bands, up and coming acts and film festival debuts.

On the 45th anniversary of the Psychedelic movement, Noise of Art’s show re-imagines why Victorian design and fashion was a main ingredient in the Sixties Psychedelic movement.

It imagines that two universes collided in 1967. One was a steampunk world. The other was the Carnaby Street of Sixties London. Which is why, amongst other things, Peter Blake’s cover for Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is based on a Victorian circus.
